MARCO BERTONI - 18/8/81

ELICA 10" ltd edition of 400That is what I found about Marco Bertoni : He's the Italian band Confusional Quartet's keyboards player, Bertoni recorded these pieces for piano to be released by Les Disques du Crépuscule, but never be."The piano tunes here have a playfulness and a nonchalance of Satiesque inspiration, exposing an intimate world which reveals through simplicity and primitive studio inventiveness, with a production enphasising the idea of sketches and of artisan work. In these eight short pieces, the piano tracks are superimposed, speeded up or down, deconstructed and generally played with, although most of the time left in their original unmodified beauty, with street cats, breathings, Italian radio-dramas, Russian radio voices, bird recordings and Gianni Cuoghi's drum elements discreetly adding to them through Gianni Gitti's studio touch."
